Not fair, my wife just shoots up Ozempic to stay thin, and I've got to train and monitor what I eat because I don't trust what that shit does long term.
Other than, I suppose, lowering your risk of cardiac death in exchange for $$$

ozempic is not as much of a magic pill as some are saying. I haven’t studied it extensively, but from what I heard it slows down the passage of food through the digestive tract to produce that satiated feeling
When you slow food passing through the digestive tract, you open up a bunch of possible GI side effects and risks, the most serious (but most rare) being a life-threatening blockage
Some people also think they can just take ozempic and eat whatever they want, which obviously isn’t true, it only changes satiety. And when people stop taking it, they tend to put the weight back on
It’s been tempting for me to try, but I don’t mind the hollow hunger ache that comes along with dieting as much as most people. Once I’m in that state, I tell myself that my body is now eating fat stores for energy, when it wasn’t before when I wasn’t hungry. This makes the uncomfortable feeling more “worth it”
